Southwest of Mexico City, on Mexico’s breathtaking Pacific coastline, the coastal town of Ixtapa plays host to one of Club Med’s most dynamic family villages. Tucked between the waves of the Pacific Ocean and the peaks of the Sierra Madre Mountains, Club Med Ixtapa puts its guests moments from countless activities both on land and in the water.
Natural beauty surrounds everything there is to see and do here, guaranteeing a scrapbook full of breathtaking images no matter who’s taking the pictures. Families can search for shells along the pristine coastline, snorkel above coral just offshore or take an excursion to the quaint fishing village of Zihuatanejo.
The atmosphere. The cuisine. Even the buildings here have been influenced with the colorful cultures found in this region of Mexico. After a stay here, chances are your family will be as well.
